[Galaxy S I9000 General] memphisraynz:
I would like if it we could get a mod to occasionally visit the Galaxy S forums.

It is becoming ridiculous the amount of threads popping up in places they just don't belong. The Dev section in particular is the worst. People asking general questions, which may be valid questions but do not belong in the Dev section.

I was in there this morning and someone wants to know if an SD card is required for the phone to work. There is no valid reason for this at all. It pollutes the forum and makes it hard to find real information.

Coming across from the Dream forums where after years people have learnt what goes where and it isn't hard.

If the Mods are to busy maybe we need to start flaming and not answering questions that don't belong in that section until the general population learns.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
Sirphunkee is the official Galaxy S forums moderator.

I will soon be joining him in moderating this forum myself, as I've just ordered a couple of these phones.

But then how will the general population learn that flaming is never acceptable, against the rules of XDA, and I will certainly not tolerate it ?

How to use Astro SMB module? I cant connect to my PC with it .. I am currently using another SMB app called File Expert and it works fine.. I want to try Astro SMB module since I just loved its file manager.. Can anybody tell me how to set up astro?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Are you working with Windows Vista or 7?

In that case, newer SMB underlying protocol used by those systems might explain it, your client needs to support it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gupta.keshav94:
Yeah I am using 7..

So, astro wont work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can do a check - perform this:

http://www.tannerwilliamson.com/2009/09/windows-7-seven-network-file-sharing-fix-samba-smb/

And try to connect. If it works - then it's the only way, due to the reason I wrote above. It's downgrading the share security, but I guess for most home networks it's not important at all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.L.C.:
I'm running several shares on my network, most are linux smb shares but there are a couple windows shares as well. Astro refuses to access any of them.

I installed estrong file explorer, all shares are visible and I have access to all of them. So my suggestion is to give estrong a shot. Free app with no ads :)

Hi,

I've Windows Xp, but Astro SMB doesn't work. Instead, Estrongs File Explorer it's able to see my pc, to connect my galaxy s with it and to let me see on the phone shared document.

But I prefer Astro SMB, so anyone can tell me how to configurate Astro to make it work?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Look at the link posted above.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paola85:
sorry, but isn't the link above only for windows 7?

I've got windows xp
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The link above is for Windows 7 and Vista, indeed. Sorry, I kinda missed that part of your post.

If Astro SMB doesn't work with your Windows XP - there are 2 options: 1) if you have a corporate laptop or something - it might be set to use the same sharing security as Win7 and Vista, and then you need to do the same thing as described in the link. 2) if not - then it's probably some problem with configuration, and people might be able to help you with it. What exactly are you trying to do, and what is the result? Please describe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paola85:
no, my pc isn't a corporate laptop but an home pc.

I want to create a network between my galaxy s with android and my home pc, using my router wifi.

So i've installed smb module for Astro. Then i've selected new network--->smb. After that step, the phone ask me some information. For exactly:

-Label

-Server

-Domain

-Shared folder

-User

-Password

I've try to set as Server the IP of my pc and as user and password that one I use to access on Windows Xp. But Astro gives me the error: "unknown user or bad password".

I'd like that someone who use Astro for networking with windows Xp would tell me how to configure the net.

With Estrongs Explorer files i had no problems: when i've selected "lan", the software has searched automatically avaiable devices and found my pc with his IP. Then i've selected "connect" and Shared folders appared on my phone...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't need to enter user credentials to connect to common share, if I'm not mistaken. Try without username and password, only server and shared folder.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paola85:
In this way it gives another error: SocketTimeoutException: socket is not connected
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paola85:
I've finally decided to use ES file explorer.

Ty however
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vze33jng:
Turn off simple file sharing in any explorer window. Folder, options, third tab (forget label), drill to bottom and deselect simple file sharing. Check firewall... and you should have your shares pw protected. I usually just go to my serger and put c$ in the folder field.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jainanshal:
Finally worked

So finally i was able to share files between ASTRO & my Win7 Ulti laptop.

Assuming your settings at PC end are correct, here's what you need to do in ASTRO,

Under, Networks>New>SMB, Just fill in the..

Server: <your pc local ip, say, 192.168.1.2>

Username: Guest

Password: <blank>

I filled only the above mentioned fields, leaving everything else blank.

The above setting will work if you have simple sharing enabled on your pc with no username/password, as it was in my case or you may use the username/password for your window's login. Also see that the file/folder you are trying to share has atleast Read permission for 'Guest' account.

It should work now.

But i encountered a new problem now, i was keen to use ASTRO as i thought it will be able to play videos from my PC but when i try to open file using the Video Player, it gives some crashing sort of error & closes. However, i am able to play the same file from my memory card using Video Player.

Any solution??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Use Samba mount command from Development section, to mount your PC share as a directory under /sdcard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jainanshal:
I think thats possible only with rooted phones, plz correct me if i am wrong..

My phone is not rooted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I can't verify it, but I think mount should work with non-rooted phones too, as long as you have busybox and your kernel supports CIFS (it's a good question if the stock one does - I believe you're running stock?)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jainanshal:
Thanks for your response...

I am not much aware about this, can you help me where to find & how to do this?

Also i have no clue what busybox is.

Thanks again.. :)

astro smb / windows xp configuration

this is what must be done to use your regular xp user name and password -

1. open windows control panel

2. double click on administrative tools

3. double click on local security policy

4. hi-light security options

5. double click on network access:sharing and security model for local accounts

6. change to classic - local users authenticate as themselves

The only information needed by astro smb now is the ip address of the computer you want to connect to and your windows user name and password

VLC direct to stream videos from pc to phone and vice versa easy

I have a solution for you use vlc direct to stream movies from the pc to android and vice versa try the free version to see if it work then i leave it up to you...;)

PM me if you need help with that but it is really very simple

Thanks for the tips in the congfig i had my config with guest as username and it didnt work

How do i make my pc see the files in the phone? so far i have only managed to do that with miui file explorer using the ftp tab its very easy but i wanted to try with astro to see if there are extra freatures or just to use it all under one app.

I agree with most using es file manager is much easier than astro

(Rom)Ava-FroyoV1-Sense+2.2 Froyo

I am currently running this Rom and it does exactly that. (Tells you Evdo, 1x etc)

BEWARE! This is Android 2.2 (Froyo) which has a lot of bugs and things not working. (No Rear Camera, No MMS, 4G, Android Market is screwed up, etc.)

"Word on the street" is that soon, (next couple of days or maybe even tonight) there are going to be new Froyo ROMS that will fix many of these issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacholley:
so by tonight it being released you mean this AVA rom should be updated or you mean in general some new code is being released on froyo????

I use my camera daily lol and it takes to long to NAND between rom's to snap a photo of the kiddo on the fly!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danon.brown:
probably referring to CyanogenMod 6 it should top any of the froyo roms here IMO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbie_from_NJ:
There are a few Froyo ROMS out right now. Differences between them are that some concentrate on speed, user experience, etc. etc. some run Sense and some don't.

At the race right now:

Two different Developers, each has their own Froyo ROM:

Avalaunchmods - Ava (Sense)

Cyanogen - CM6 (AOSP... (no Sence) I believe?)

Both of them will be releasing their own ROM that allegedly fixes many of the Froyo issues we are currently experiencing. Cyanogen posted on Twitter that his CM6 might be going live tonight on the nightly builds for Evo..

Ava has also stated that he too will be releasing an update soon...

[HD2 General] swaser18t:
I am kinda having some crazy stuff going on. First does anyone have a good website to check download speeds? I am using I.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.HTML.

I pick the 3G test I get about 300-600 Kbps for a download speed. The crazy thing is if I turn on my wifi, but DO NOT CONNECT to a network I get 1600-1800 Kbps. I have tested and retested many times no matter what if I have the wifi turned on I always get a faster speed. I know I am not connected to a network because A. When I do connect to my home wireless I get about 4000 Kbps. B. I have tested this when there are no networks around.

I guess cool if I am really getting those speeds which it looks like I am because even the latency probes are fast, my concern is having the wifi on all the time will eat up my battery even more.

So I would like some feed back on what others are using to do speed tests and also does this happen to anyone else?

I am on joshes fast and stable rom.

Radio2.10.50.26

Thanks people.....
[HD2 General] acessford101:
It is changing your reg settings and allowing for a larger transfer rate.
[HD2 General] swaser18t:
Ok... So can I change those settings so I can get that speed without the wifi on?

Thanks

I use www.speakeasy.net/speedtest for that...it only works in IE (not opera, haven't tested it in skyfire), but does a great job.

Hey everyone,

The problem I'm having is pretty self explanatory, when I boot into recovery (latest RA or clockwork) I'm unable to mount my SD card. When I boot into my rom (cm 6 rc1) I have no trouble mounting or accessing the SD. Both recoveries can mount a 1gb card I have laying around but not my current card. I have tried reformatting the card multiple times to no avail. Has anyone had this issue or have any insight into it?

Thanks

[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Not sure on your problem. Since you reformatted all fat32, I assume, memory is not the issue. You can get Auto Mount from Market for a temporary fix. It can be disabled thru settings if you want to keep it but not use if you solve your problem.

`mods, you beat me to it. I was just thinking how there needed to be a thread where users can say there thanks to all the devs, testers, and mods out there. I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to modify my phone as I please. I love to tinker with things, make them better and to make them ME.

Also, I just want to stress the importance of

SEARCHING AND READING!!!!

I made the mistake early on of just either creating a new thread or posting in the wrong thread just so I wouldn't have to read to find the answer. THAT WAS FREAKIN STUPID ON MY PART!!! I wish I would have just read up on everything I wanted to know in the beginning. I would have saved myself a ton of headaches and resets. I would have also learned more than what I know now. I now know that if I want to ask a question, to just search for it first. I can't count the times that someone else has asked the same questions that have been answered countless times. And if I'm wanting to try a script, or change my lock screen or something along those lines,

IT HELPS TO READ ALL OF THE POSTS IN THAT PARTICULAR THREAD

particularly because most likely, someone with your setup has encountered some sort of problem, did some troubleshooting, and posted a fix for it.

Anyway, I'll get off my box. I mainly wanted to say thanks, but also try to save some headaches.

THANKS!!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omaticayan:
Hi Community,

I am searching for a tool like SyncToy 2.1 from Microsoft to sync data such as files, folders between my LG GM750 Smartphone and network folders.

MobSync is not what I want because of the data transfer via ActiveSync and the problem with large files.

My environment at home is a WiFi Router which is connected to the internet via UMTS. Attached to the router are 2 hard drives with 500 GB and 1500 GB. On the hard drives are the folders (SMB shares) I want to sync with folders on my smartphone's sd card.

The phone is connected via WiFi to the router and I have access to the shares on the hard drives using Total Commander.

I searched for weeks now to find such an application without success until now. Maybe I have overseen... otherwise there might be a programmer here who can take care of my wish!

Thanks in advance!

there is a dropbox client for windows phone , may be you can use that
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omaticayan:
Hi,

no, this app uses some internet service. This is not what I want.

My goal is an app like SyncToy in which I can create folder pairs to be syncronized. There is no need to involve the internet. It's just an intranet thing taking place in my private local area network... :D

Any further suggestions? All apps I found are using ActiveSync... but the sync should work over Wireless LAN.

Best regards,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
unfortunately I am not aware of such an app. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Omaticayan:
I am afraid that you're right...

in the past few hours I have intensified my search dramatically... but all promising apps are using ActiveSync or WMDC. I even thought of Mortscript but how can I compare folders and determine changes AND generate lists of files to be copied...?

However, for the moment I have given up. If there is a programmer around here... please help!

Thanks in advance & best regards,

hmmm...yes and no...

There is no Windows Mobile client, but I would have to run it from my netbook or any other computer. And then it utilizes ActiveSync resp. WMDC...

Unfortunately, that is a no-go. I need an app on my Windows Mobile phone which syncs folder pairs over WiFi. No internet, no ActiveSync, no WMDC... just my private LAN...

I didn't discover such an app yet...

I mean many youtube comments of reviews over this phone been on both sides, and I mean the phone has been discontinued and people say from all the bugs and problems.

If you can live without a keyboard it may be worth looking at the Diamond 2.

I've had my fuze since it came out and i love it. I usually run the latest energy rom on mine though and I didn't like the phone near as much without it. So my advice is if you have a little computer know-how and are willing to read the forums the hardware is just fine and everything is here to make the fuze exactly what you want it to be, well aside from the 1Ghz speed and wvga res of the new gen of phones;) I'd say go for it

Oh and I second the look at the diamond 2 if you don't need hardware keys cause it has a better blue tooth stack, but no keyboard means I won't buy personally:D
